Matt Lauer<\/a><\/strong> appears to be making a statement with his new tattoo.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the former Today<\/em> show co-host was spotted driving in Sag Harbor near New York City. And while this is a rare spotting for the journalist, what fans are really talking about is the ink job on his arm.<\/p>\n

In pictures obtained by E! News, Matt drove around town while wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and a white button-down that showcased his new tattoo. The ink read, “Hatred corrodes the container it’s carried in.” <\/p>\n

While many are trying to decipher the meaning and message, theories have already started popping up online. Some pointed out that the quote was repeated by former Senator Alan Simpson<\/strong> during his eulogy for the late President George H.W. Bush<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“You would have wanted [Bush] on your side. He never hated anyone. He knew what his mother and my mother always knew: Hatred corrodes the container it’s carried in,” Senator Alan shared during his speech. “The most decent and honorable man I ever met was my friend George Bush.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Matt’s new tattoo comes after the journalist wrote an op-ed where he made it clear that he disagrees<\/a> with Ronan Farrow<\/a><\/strong>‘s reporting in the best-selling book Catch and Kill<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Specifically, Matt wrote in his op-ed for Mediaite<\/a> that he’s “disappointed but not surprised” the perceived lack of scrutiny of Ronan’s book.<\/p>\n

Not long after the op-ed was published, Ronan took to Twitter<\/a> and defended his work. “All I’ll say on this is that Matt Lauer is just wrong,” he wrote. “Catch and Kill<\/em> was thoroughly reported and fact-checked, including with Matt Lauer himself.” <\/p>\n

Matt was fired by NBC<\/a> in 2017 after an employee accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior. That employee, Brooke Nevils<\/strong>, participated in Ronan’s book.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Matt has stated time and time again that he had “a consensual, yet inappropriate relationship” with Brooke and unequivocally denies any accusations of rape or sexual assault.<\/p>\n
